What's New:

The Missouri Strip Trial Program: The Missouri Strip Trial Program is a new, grower-focused program, designed to help Missouri farmers and crop advisors compare on-farm management decisions and practices in a low-cost, low-risk setting. Includes list of 2018 trial options and other information.

Wet Weather Event Management: Resources for helping animal feeding operators faced with extreme precipitation events that exceed the design criteria for their operation make the best possible decisions about their manure storages.

Design Storm Alert System (DSAS): The DSAS is a web-based monitoring system tracking precipitation accumulation across Missouri. The current DSAS is focused on managing open/uncovered storages used for manure and domestic wastewater.

Ag Site Assessment Tool: The Ag Site Assessment Tool (AgSite) is a web-based tool that generates a report that describes the physical, cultural and environmental characteristics of a selected land parcel and its surroundings. This tool replaces AFOSite and BERM. This tool is powered and housed in Community Commons.

NMTracker: NMTracker is a web-based tool that is used to create a map of your farm. It allows you to draw fields, determine field size and create maps needed for completing a nutrient management plan. Tutorials and videos showing how to use the tool are now available. Replaces SNMP 2.1

New Pork Board Fact Sheet on PEDV and manure handling: New guidelines have been released to minimize spread of Porcine Epidemic Disease Virus (PEDV) through manure handling activities. PEDV can survive for extended periods in manure. These guidelines minimize risk from manure applicators spreading this costly disease.
